Yeah - I wouldn’t say that. I’d say his play calling lost more games than those 2. You can CHIT talk all you want.

Why EK13 is a HAG & not a Ram though ? Not upgrading the LBer position is another.

—Shula is in control of the development of Omar Speight.
He just needed to gain TRUST in him.You don’t want to ruin a players confidence either.

-T’ White is that guy who Chit the field.I watched him right in front of me get burned for 40.Then held a guy for a PI. Still Mcvay had a chance to win it,but got Stafford sacked(fumble) that put The Rams defense in another bad situation.
-His Red Zone play calling has STUNK for awhile.

Against the Vikings he got conservative after a defensive stop in the end of the first half ?? It’s all how you want to look at it.

Look forward to Mcvays offense though with Kupp & Pucka to finish out the season.
If Omar Speights can step up & play better than those 2(turds) Lbers it’s all good.
—I wonder about this LBer The Rams just signed as well.

I follow the team pretty closely and never saw those reports. Is there something you can link?

And.. Tennessee is having a fire sale and turned him for a profit, because he was playing so well... although his PFF grade and his counting stats are remarkably similar to Troy Reeder's.

I and others linked Andrew Whitworth talking about issues with Jones in camp in the trade thread.

Cameron DaSilva article dated August 28th has a detailed discussion and analysis of the Ernest Jones move, including many of Whitworth's comments.

Looking at possible reasons for Rams' shocking Ernest Jones trade, from a bad knee to a talent regression

It’s hard to understand why the Rams traded Ernest Jones for very little return, but there are a few possible explanations

So there’s no chance that Jones play regressed below Reeder and Rozeboom. It also doesn’t look like the knee was going to be a short term issue. So there was likely a personal conflict. Either McVay didn’t like Jones attitude especially as a leader on defense -or- Jones camp made a big issue of not getting extended. It’s done now so what can Rams do to strengthen the ILB. Speights is a start but I’d like to see another addition.

I think that Ship has Sailed ... and then it Sunk.

Devin White was out there for 10 days before signing with Houston. His cap hit is under $700,000.

Jamin Davis was out there for a week before signing with Green Bay ... to the Practice Squad.

The Rams seem satisfied with what they got. For the life of me, I can't figure-put why.

 

[Ramstien]

I will tell you why this staff does not seem to value the ILBer position, and it is beyond frustrating.

Well, THAT certainly clears everything up for me.

 

[PhillyRam]

Verse makes more sense for that because he has 5T size and strength. He could stand up a Tackle on early downs then slide out on pass downs.

I think Young is best served outside.

I am talking Young as a MLB, not DT.

Maybe he just wasn't ready from a mental standpoint. .So relax. And I am sure Shula had a lot to say about that.

Nah fuck that, we all need a slap the shit outta me coach (especially on that booty thread), besides I'm trying to create a job here lol. To say it in a more polite way, it took way too long for the coaching staff to put Speights in. He did better than Reeder and Rozeboom who both are bench players and not true starters. Also everytime someone says to relax, this happens lol......
